Guys,
Just a note for the few 11.0 boxes left out there. If you are updating your box
with some of the newer packages in build service, etc... do NOT update zlib,
zlib-32bit and zlib-devel to 1.2.5 from 1.2.3 -- it will break just about
everything yast and gtk related (sw_single, firefox, thunderbird, gnome, etc..)
If you are bitten by this mistake, just grab the 1.2.3 packages from the
install dvd and reinstall with rpm or 'zypper in -f -r <discontinued-oss-repo>'.
The install/downgrade of zlib-devel will fail after the downgrade of zlib and
zlib-32bit on 64 bit boxes due to the broken link /lib64/libz.so.1 still
pointing to 1.2.5. Just fix the broken link so that libz.so.1 is linked to
libz.so.1.2.3 again and then install zlib-devel.
